4 years ago today, I began Bri’s Book Nook! These past four years, a lot has changed in my life. I went from a high school student with summer jobs and a busy school schedule to a college student with a slightly less busy school schedule and a busy internship to fill in that extra free time. I started my blog as a way to keep track of books that I read and enjoyed, and now have gone into reviewing movies, shows, and video games, while still participating in many ARC reviews and blog tours.
This year is going to be a bit different. In past years, I have began to read a lot of books for advanced copies just to have time not to finish them before their release dates. I’ve spent hours binging books the day before the tour to get a review on my blog. I’ve been disappointed in my content and burnt out from reading many times. In 2021, that will be no more!
I am going to not be reading as many ARC books this year. If I still have the book in my backlog I will try my best to finish it, but I am going to be rediscovering my love for reading this year instead. I will be reading the books on my bookshelf that have been looking at me for months, begging to be read. I have so many popular series that I have been forcing myself not to read in order to get other things done, but now I’m going to take the time to finish a few series that I enjoy. Here is a list of some of them!
A Blade So Black
Throne of Glass
The Kane Chronicles
Harry Potter
- I am mostly reading this because I want to read the series one last time and give a final review of them for my own closure, and then I will probably be unhauling these. I don’t agree with Rowling’s actions, and I never got that much into the series, so I just want to do one last hurrah before I donate them to a local Goodwill or something of the sort.
Divergent
Obsidian
After
The Hunger Games
And those are only a few of the book series that I want to finish in 2021. I am finally going to be giving myself the space I need to explore some of the stuff I’ve been putting off, and I will hopefully fall in love with blogging again along the way.
I am going to try to publish 2-3 blogs per week, but I will definitely be spending a lot more time interacting with other bloggers. I miss you all and want to get back to interacting with everyone on a regular basis!
I am also aiming to hit 500 followers on my Twitch account https://www.twitch.tv/briennaij and I hope to see some of you on some of my streams. I do enjoy playing story-based games so I hope you find content you enjoy if you do stop by!
Here’s to a better 2021 full of more blogging, gaming, and healing.
